UNPUBLISHED

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 00-1775

In Re: CLAUDE RAYMOND CURRY,

Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Prohibition.

Submitted:

August 24, 2000

Decided:

August 29, 2000

Before MICHAEL and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior

Circuit Judge.

Petition dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Claude Raymond Curry, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM:
Claude Raymond Curry has filed a petition for a writ of prohibition, requesting an order stating that a federal district judge
in West Virginia is to accept no order, decree or interpleader
that violates his constitutional rights.

We dismiss the petition.

A writ of prohibition is an extraordinary remedy to be granted

only when the petitioner has shown his right to the writ to be
clear and indisputable.
(10th Cir. 1983).

See In re: Vargas, 723 F.2d 1461, 1468

Here, Curry states that the order is necessary

because he intends to file a lawsuit to recover and obtain compensation for property that was allegedly illegally seized from
him.

This is not a reason for granting the extraordinary relief

sought.

We therefore deny the motion for leave to proceed in forma

pauperis and dismiss the petition for a writ of prohibition.

We

dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions
are adequately presented in the materials before the court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DISMISSED
